Compared with China, the United States, Canada, Russia and other large countries, Japan can indeed be called "little Japan". However, in the world, Japan's land area is definitely not small, larger than the so-called powerful countries such as Germany, Britain, and Italy. Therefore, the Japanese call themselves the "Greater Japanese Empire."
So, the area ranks 61st in the world, with 370,000 square kilometers, what is the concept?
Calculated by area, a China tops more than 20 Japan, and the area of nearly five Japan is equivalent to one Xinjiang.
Perhaps compared with Xinjiang, Japan is small in size, but compared with Taiwan, Japan is much larger. The area of one Japan is a little more than 10 Taiwan. You are not mistaken, it is indeed a little more than 10.
As for the area of Guangdong Province, multiplied by 2, it is equivalent to the area of Japan. The combined area of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Fujian is about 10,000 square kilometers smaller than the area of Japan.
And the extremely prosperous Hong Kong has an area of 1/336 of Japan, while the area of Beijing is 1/22 of Japan, Shanghai is 1/59 of Japan, and the administrative area of Macau is larger than Japan One-thousandth of that is a little less.
Someone asked, are there any provinces and cities in China that are comparable in size to Japan? Yes, the land area of Yunnan is the closest to that of Japan, which is 380,000 square kilometers, a little bit more than that of Japan.
Generally speaking, Japan’s land area is not small in the world. If you sort by area, Japan should be regarded as a medium-sized country, because 100,000 square kilometers to 500,000 square kilometers Countries with kilometres are classified as "medium countries" in terms of area; those with 500,000 to 1 million square kilometers are defined as "large countries"; those with 1 million to 5 million square kilometers are defined as "super large countries"; and 500 Countries with more than 10,000 square kilometers are called "mega countries." At present, in terms of area, there are only 6 mega countries: Russia, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil, and Australia.
